Comparison of two spectrometric counting modes for fast analysis of selected radionuclides activity
نویسنده
چکیده
The two counting modes: a normal with a single HPGE detector and second with the additional anti-Compton shield of the annular NaI(Tl) detector have been compared for fast determination of the activity concentration of thorium 232Th in the building materials. The 232Th activity concentration was calculated by measurement of its decay products: 212Pb, 212Bi and 208Tl as well 228Ac content. Although the Compton suppression mode applied in gamma spectrometry systems in general increase sensitivity of the analysis, but in case of 583 keV the most abundant 208Tl γ-line, the significant reduction of photon counting rate was observed.

Introduction: Spatial dose distribution around the radionuclides sources is required for optimized treatment planning in radioimmunotherapy. At present, the main source of data for cellular dosimetry is the s-values provided by MIRD. However, the MIRD s-values have been calculated based on analytical formula in which no electrons straggling is taken to account. In this study, we used Geant4-DNA...
